Rights of Indigenous Peoples: a Statement of Solidarity

SPF acknowledges the Gadigal and Guring-gai people of the Eora Nation upon whose ancestral lands we stand. In the name of Peace with Justice the Sydney Peace Foundation stands in solidarity with Indigenous people’s right to determine their own future. This includes but is not limited to their right to active participation in all decisions made by Australian governments in regards to land, welfare, regulation, education and cultural practices. We acknowledge the value of different ways of knowing and being in the world, and we look to Indigenous Australia for ways that they can educate us on respecting, caring and sharing the land on which we live.
